Stumbled across an odd ergonomics problem with our coupe last week.
BusinessCar production editor Tony Rock borrowed it and said the driver's seat had got stuck against the roof lining when he'd tilted it forward to extract a child from the rear. It turns out he has his seat cranked higher than either myself or editor Young, who both sit pretty much as low as we can. But sit a bit higher, and set the headrest for a taller driver, and you have to adjust it down again to get the seat to tilt.
Penance for a swooping low coupe roofline I suppose, but it's not something I've come across before.
